A high-throughput polarization interferometer has been developed to demonstrate for the first time the utility of Fourier transform spectroscopy for Thomson scattering diagnostics of high temperature plasma. Target Te and ne ranges for the prototype polarization interferometer are 1 keV and 510m, respectively. This paper describes the design of the polarization interferometer, the results of initial tests and measurement of TPE-RX plasma using the polarization interferometer.
